"From Class 1-B, we have Ibara Shiozaki!" Present Mic shouted excitedly as Ibara walked onto the fighting stage slowly, keeping her gaze focused away from the cheering crowd around her.

"Her opponent, from Class 1-A, is Izuku Midoriya!" Hisashi shouted with even more excitement as Izuku joined Ibara on the fighting stage and ignored the crowd in favor of remaining calm and looking at his opponent to think of a new strategy to use against her.

"Now, let the first semi-final match begin!" Inko shouted as Ibara commanded her hair to grow out before the newly grown hair split off from the source and went into the ground, continually growing.

Knowing the simple workings of her Quirk, Izuku would have flown up into the sky to avoid the attack, but he didn't have his rocket boots and he wasn't even sure he could have done that with his Quirk. Though he wasn't even able to use it on his own, making it was useless to him. So he did that next best thing and started to run around aimlessly.

Suddenly, a large bunch of vines sprouted out of the ground where Izuku was standing, and luckily, he was far away from that spot. Seeing Izuku running toward her, Ibara let the bunch of vines she was using earlier wilt away as she sent another bunch into the ground. Quickly, Izuku grabbed his stun disk and pressed the button to start the countdown, but as he threw it, the vines that Ibara sent into the ground made a dome around her. Which lead the stun disk into vines, making it as useful as a fish out of water.

Giving up on that strategy, Izuku ran up to the dome and grabbed his disk before stowing it away in his belt for later. But now, he had only one plan in mind. 'How do I activate my Quirk?' He asked the voices in his head while everyone else just saw him staring blankly at the vines surrounding Ibara as those plants wilted away quickly.

"I got it, boys," Serena said as Izuku blinked and his eyes became slit light green eyes instead of the usual forest green. Focusing on the current battle, Izuku took a very short glance at his metal arm before making a green flame appear on his left. "I presume you Quirk works similar to the growth of a vine or some other plant, correct?" He asked, his mind racing through possibilities for their battle.

"That is correct." She said as her hair grew out again and went into the ground. "Mind sharing your weakness, Midoriya-san?"

"It's a very simple thing. I need heat for my Quirk to work." He said in return before he decided to start moving and narrowly dodged the next group of vines sprouting out of the ground. Watching it retract into the ground, Izuku could only theorize what her weakness was since it was somehow connected to plants.

The first thing he thought of was cutting off the roots, but making a girl bald on national television might be a bit extreme.

The second thing he had thought of was to get rid of the water vapor around her, hoping that without water, she wouldn't be able to grow more vines. Hoping that would work, he kind of wanted to use it as a last resort since he would have to expel all of the heat in his body to do that, which may potentially kill him if too much heat is released and would leave him defenseless for a short period of time.

"Time for Plan B." He said before running in a serpentine formation to avoid any more of those vines. Getting close, Izuku didn't waste time and released a shockwave of heat from his body, raising the temperature a few degrees and quickly drying up any moisture that was in the nearby air.

As quick as the wave of heat was sent out, Izuku tried to get as much heat as he could back into his body before he would start to suffer from a blood flow failure. Thankfully, he didn't and Ibara's vines had shrunk slightly, seeming to have shriveled up with the heat. Standing up in front of her, he glanced at the ground before pushing her.

"Sorry, Shiozaki-san." He said as she fell on her behind and out of bounds. "I must admit, your Quirk is quite impressive, though you might want to consider some physical conditioning." Extending his left hand to her, Ibara was helped up off the ground with only a little lingering sting on her bottom.

"I'll take your advice, Midoriya-san, and that was quite the exciting match." She replied before looking at the referee who smiled at the two friendly competitors. And if she didn't know better, Izuku might've had some more chemistry with Ibara if he wasn't with Momo at the moment.

Seeing the two competitors turn to face her, Inko remembered that she had to announce the winner. "Izuku is the winner of the match by ring out!" She shouted as the two smiled before leaving, walking closely together too.

Once the two were out of the arena the next two were Fumikage and Katsuki, which was already a bad matchup for the former as many of the spectators knew. Knowing the outcome, Izuku made sure that Ibara made it to the reserved seating without any issues. So, by the time Izuku made it to his class's reserved seating, Katsuki had made a flashbang within his palms, weakening Dark Shadow severely.

"This was a fucked up matchup, you shouldn't have told anyone your Quirk's weakness." The blonde prick commentated with tiny explosions going off in his palms. "Wouldn't have mattered though, I would win even if I didn't know."

Accepting the things that Katsuki had just told him, Fumikage stood up while Dark Shadow retreated back into his body. Raising both of his hands, Fumikage said, "I forfeit."

With a sigh, Inko was obligated to announce the results of the match. "By forfeit, Katsuki Bakugo is the winner of the match and will move on the face Izuku Midoriya in the final match!" She shouted to the crowd before she looked at the winner of the match. "Bakugo, would you like a break before the final or would you like to fight now?"

"Of fucking course, I'll fight Deku right now!" He cussed out as he slammed his fist into his palm.

"Izuku, you can make your dramatic entrance now!" Inko shouted toward the crowd, knowing her son took some traits after his father and this would be one of them.

Then, on cue, Izuku jumped out of the stands with what appeared to be green flames surrounding his body, bracing him for the dramatic stance he took upon landing. One knee on the ground and his metal arm punching the ground, creating a small crater in the dirt. The famed hero stance or jump for every hero while those like Deadpool gush over the dramatic flare.

"C'mon, it could be way worse." The boy said to his mother, knowing that his father would approve in front of everyone if his mother wasn't there. "I could be in Tou-san's hero outfit with neon colors making me a walking target."

Giggling at that response, the crowd also had a small chuckle from the joke while Izuku walked onto the stage and allowed Serena to take full control of his body. "Let the final match begin!"

Immediately, Katsuki and Izuku ran toward each other with plans of their own to fight against the enemy they both knew of. But when they got close, both ducked down and leaned toward their left while they used their right arm to punch the other. Once their opening attacks took their effect, both were knocked off to the side, especially Katsuki.

Not one to ever give up, Kastuki got up and charged at Izuku with explosions accelerating his movement. But now, Serena was going to fight like herself and not how Izuku would've fought. So, Izuku dropped backward and used his hands to hold himself up when Katsuki flew over him. Then, the freckled boy lifted himself on his hands and kicked his opponent in the abdomen, blowing the wind out of him and knocking him into the sky before saving himself from falling with a careful series of explosions.

"Let's go, Deku! Time for a real fight!" Kastuki shouted as he rushed toward Izuku for the third time. Unfortunately, this time, Katsuki had gotten his blow in, only for the heat to be sucked into Izuku's body.

"You want a real fight?" Izuku asked as his eyes changed from their light green color to a deep crimson color. "Then, I'll give it to you." He said in a deeper voice, a bit rough too. All of a sudden, the flames that were around Izuku had changed into a deep crimson color and magnified in heat. "Brace yourself, cause I'm not going to hold back!"

Punching Katsuki in the chest, those close enough could hear a sickening crack, followed by two or three more cracks. But it didn't stop there, Izuku grabbed Kastuki by the shoulders and started to apply pressure before headbutting the blonde, catching him off guard. With his opponent still in his grasp, Izuku threw the blonde into the air before using the flames that surrounded his body and sending a stream of crimson red flames toward Katsuki.

"This is for all the times you've bullied me, you son of- wait... that'd be insulting to your mother." He joked to himself as he watched the flames collide with Katsuki's body, burning away his uniform top and leaving a small burn on the blonde's chest.

"You fucker!" Katsuki shouted as he floated in the middle of the stadium by the simple application of a few explosions. Starting to spin, Katsuki made some sort of vortex using his explosions to prepare an attack at Izuku, hoping to finish the match with a single attack.

"Oh, your big move that finished off Uraraka, huh? You know I could absorb your attack and it would be useless!" Izuku taunted him, but he started to feel something odd. Fearing for his control, Izuku stepped back and edged closer to a ring out, but even all of his emotions wouldn't force him to lose.

"This is over!" Katsuki shouted, ignoring the inner conflict Izuku was going through. And in just a few seconds, Katsuki was right in front of Izuku who had closed his eyes to try and focus on all of his anger. Yet when Katsuki was just inches away from him, Izuku opened his eyes to reveal silver eyes instead of crimson red.

Not stopping his attack, Katsuki passed through Izuku like he was a ghost. Then, suddenly, his entire attack stopped as he felt himself be set on his feet with his hands behind his back. Looking back, he saw Izuku looking at him with a solemn face as he kept the blonde's hands from setting off more explosions.

"I'm afraid this is where our match ends." The freckled fighter said as he pushed Katsuki off the edge of the arena, making him land face-first in the dirt. "Just be thankful that I didn't let Rath continue his course of actions." He said ominously as he walked passed Katsuki and into the stadium, his eyes returning completely normal afterward.

When Katsuki's embarrassment was looked over and he rushed into the hallways of the stadium, everyone burst into cheers as Inko announced, "Izuku is the winner of the Sports Festival!"

~ BTYB Izuku not knowing how he won ~

A/N: So, the next chapter's going to be extra long since it will be the last chapter for a while. By that, I mean that after Chapter 16, I will stop writing this story and write another story, but if you follow me, you'll know when the story is released.

But I'll do a Q&A once Chapter 16 is up, so ask plenty of questions!

Anyway, see you next time, lovelies!
